Our drawing was taken from a plant at the Nursery of 
Mrs. More, in the King’s-road, this Summer. It is of 
hybrid origin, and appears to be from one of the purple 
flowered sorts, mixed with one of the red ones, but it is 
difficult to guess at its real origin. A plant that was sent 
to us to make our description from, was entirely covered 
with flowers, which continued in perfection for a length of 
time. It is rather a strong growing sort, and is easily ma¬ 
naged, thriving well in a rich light soil, or a mixture of 
turfy loam, peat, and sand, will suit it very well, giving it 
but little water in Winter. Cuttings root readily, planted 
in pots, and placed in a sheltered situation.
